15 Pike Transit Initiative Objective: Working closely with Arlington and Fairfax counties, and Virginia state agencies, analyze higher capacity transit alternatives in the Columbia Pike corridor from the Pentagon/Pentagon City area to Bailey s Crossroads. Develop a locally preferred transit investment that supports the counties redevelopment initiatives and meets future transit demand. Accomplishments: Draft report recommends that the Modified Streetcar Alternative, supplementing base streetcar service with buses during peak periods, be advanced for further study. Draft report is under review by WMATA, Arlington County, Fairfax County, VDOT and VDRPT. Next Steps: Complete final report Continue coordination with counties and state agencies Advance planning activities 15

17 Gallery Place to Metro Center Pedestrian Passageway Tunnel Objective: Working closely with DDOT, assess the feasibility of a pedestrian passageway tunnel connection between Gallery Place and Metro Center Stations. Determine potential travel markets Estimate transportation service benefits Estimate the potential revenue from incorporating retail and advertising within the passageway tunnel Develop concept plans and order of magnitude cost estimates for each option Accomplishments: Draft Report is complete and shows approximately 11,750 passengers per day using the tunnel in Next Steps: Complete final report and continue coordination with DDOT, and outside agencies. 17

19 Demand Analysis for Bethesda Station Second Entrance Objective: Working closely with MDOT, analyze the demand generated by a new south entrance at Bethesda Station in conjunction with the Bi-County Transitway. Determine existing and future land use around the station Evaluate existing and future ridership levels on Metrorail and the Bi-County Transitway Develop forecasts of new ridership generated by the south entrance Analyze station capacity constraints for vertical circulation Accomplishments: Final report complete and shows that new entrance would: Serve increased population and employment by reducing walking distances to and from the station Increase pedestrian-based Metrorail ridership from residential areas by 3.2% Increase pedestrian-based ridership from employment areas by 7.5% Next Steps: Continue coordination with MDOT/MTA, M-NCPPC, and Montgomery County DPW&T. 19

21 Station Site and Access Planning Guidelines Objective: Develop Guidelines for station site and access planning. Expand upon existing WMATA standard design criteria Conform to the existing and future Metro transit operation requirements, WMATA Joint Development policies and guidelines, the latest standards, and best industry practices Address specific elements and issues involved in station access planning Develop diagrammatic figures illustrating design concepts Accomplishments: Pre-Final submittal of Guidelines under review by WMATA. Next Steps: Coordinate review comments and finalize Guidelines. 21
